One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 252 9 Devil Fruits

Luo Xia caught his breath and waved to the four of them to indicate that he was alright.

He then stood up and walked towards the unconscious Blackbeard, squatted down and muttered to himself, "Just how many secrets does this guy have hidden?"

At this point, Luo Xia's face darkened immediately, and he cursed, "Damn it, we almost got wiped out this time! If it weren't for my swordsmanship, we would have been completely wiped out!"

"Blood Phoenix, Blood Phoenix, come here quickly and handcuff him."

Upon hearing the call, Blood Phoenix quickly ran over, but she had nothing in her hands. Instead, she looked at Luo Xia with her big eyes.

"Boss, I'm a Devil Fruit user. If you need handcuffs, you shouldn't be asking me for them!"

"Oh, I forgot, sorry, sorry!" With that, Rorschach snapped his fingers, and soon, a pair of seastone handcuffs, leg irons, and chains made of seastone appeared on the ground.

However, before that, Rorschach had to unleash all of his Devil Fruit abilities to avoid any unexpected incidents on the way back.

This time, Rorschach won't give it back to him.

Without hesitation, Rorschach plopped down next to Blackbeard, his hand glowing. With a swift and precise movement, Rorschach reached into Blackbeard's chest and pulled out two glowing objects.

About a minute later, a black Devil Fruit and a golden Devil Fruit were placed in front of Rorschach.

Luo Xia curled his lip, "Damn it, let's see what tricks this guy can pull now?"

"I wonder where this guy found a Devil Fruit that doesn't appear in the encyclopedia."

Luo Xia stood up and put the two fruits into the system space.

"Smoker, tie this guy up, and make sure he's tied up tightly. I'm afraid he'll cause trouble on the way back."

Smoker took a drag of his cigarette and nodded. "Got it."

While Smoker was tying up Blackbeard, Rorschach followed Gion and the other two to Blackbeard's crew members who were not far away.

At this moment, there were a total of six crew members, each of whom was wearing sea stone handcuffs and ordinary iron chains, and was tightly bound.

Of the six, only Shiryu of the Rain remained conscious.

Luo Xia smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you guys to be so ruthless. It's been so long and only this bastard has woken up."

Rorschach walked up to Shiryu of the Rain, squatted down and looked him over. "You've got some guts. Everyone else has passed out, but you're still awake."

Shiryu of the Rain snorted, "Damn Marines, don't get cocky, Blackbeard won't let you get away with this."

Luo Xia laughed loudly, "He can't even protect himself now, so what's the point of talking about not letting me go?"

After saying that, Rorschach reached out and pinched Shiryu of the Rain's chin, forcing him to look directly at him. "However, I can give you a chance: betray Blackbeard, join my side, and become my punching bag."

Shiryu of the Rain stared wide-eyed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Be your punching bag? You bastard, do you want to die?"

Just then, the sound of chains scraping against the ground and Smoker's voice came from behind. "Azure Dragon, Blackbeard is tied up."

Luo Xia stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said, "Let's go then. Taking these guys with us will make our mission complete."

As Luo Xia seemed to remember something, he immediately closed his eyes. The next second, Luo Xia beckoned, and Blood Phoenix immediately walked up to him. "Boss, what's wrong?"

"Go and catch that woman who ran away, about 300 meters ahead."

After receiving the order, Blood Phoenix transformed into a black shadow and rushed forward. Not long after, the sounds of fighting could be heard.

However, none of Rorschach and the others wanted to go, because they all knew the strength of the Blood Phoenix, and that a mere Jewelry Bonney was no match for the Blood Phoenix.

As everyone guessed, it wasn't long before Blood Phoenix returned carrying Jewelry Bonney on her shoulder.

"Hmph, this woman tried to escape just now, but I caught her."

Luo Xia smiled slightly and gave Xue Feng a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad. Now that we've captured them, we should be going."

The group led the prisoners back.

After an unknown amount of time, the warship had sailed back to the port of the G5 branch.

As soon as the ship came to a stop, Rorschach was the first to disembark, followed by a group of Blackbeard crew members who were tied up like dumplings.

Of course, those who were still unconscious were dragged along the ground by one foot by the marines on the ship.

At first, the marines wanted to grab them and fly them to the island, but Smoker interrupted their plans.

"There's no need to show mercy to pirates; just drag it out."

Given Smoker's tone, the marines naturally had to listen; otherwise, they would truly be lacking in training.

at the same time.

Sengoku and the others, who were chatting on the island, also came to the shore after hearing the marines' hurried report.

When they saw that Luo Xia's clothes were tattered and his face was covered in blood, they were all astonished.

Karp stepped forward, grabbed Rorschach by the shoulder, and asked, "Kid, what happened to you? Who did this?"

"Hmph, who else could it be?"

"He tricked us."

Luo Xia didn't elaborate, and simply plopped down on the ground.

Seeing the fatigue on Luo Xia's face, the others didn't press him further; they could ask them about it later.

As everyone disembarked from the ship, when the last person, Gion, stepped off, their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

Because Gion was holding a box made of ice, and because the box was semi-transparent, they could easily see what was inside.

And the whole box is very big.

Noticing everyone's reaction, Rorschach interrupted, "Hey, hey, hey, never seen a Devil Fruit before?"

"Didn't you see I brought the Blackbeard Pirates back?"

Garp patted Rorschach on the shoulder and praised, "Not bad, not bad, kid. Judging from your appearance, you must have suffered a bit. Luckily, you didn't die at his hands, otherwise I would have beaten those bastards to death no matter what."

"You old geezer, you're the one who got beaten to death!"

"What did you say, you brat?"

Just as Rorschach rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Garp, a Marine came up to him and shouted, "Boss, are these guys locked up in jail?"

"That's right, lock them all up. No one is allowed to let them out without my order."

"Yes!"

As the marines led the Blackbeard Pirates away, everyone's attention shifted from Blackbeard and his crew to the box in Gion's hands.

Sengoku stepped forward to examine the Devil Fruits hidden in the ice, his brow furrowing slightly. "Could these all be Devil Fruits from the Blackbeard Pirates?"

Luo Xia yawned. "That's right, I took it all from them."

"Wow, so many?" Sengoku was quite surprised.

At this point, Gion said, "There are nine in total."
